I would love a chat room session. The only problem is time since I am 4 hours behind (or ahead depnding on perspective) of DonO. Please keep me on the list of those interested. I still have a few of DonO's flies as inspiration and sometimes it works and sometimes especially with short fibered dubbing it does not. Don seemed to be able to rope dub anything - I can kind of do long fibered dubbing.

I was thinking, just for vfb'ers, to have a chat-room clinic for rope-dubbing. If everyone could set up a tying station next to their pc, I could walk everyone through the steps. Then when someone has a problem with a step, I can help them through it. If someone knows how to set up a video conference session, I would buy a pc camera and put on clinics this way. Can't do it anytime soon, though, still strapped with the contract that kept me from attending Sowbug.
